Abstract

Abstract We rigorously discuss the large- thermodynamics of a Bose gas with a short-range two-body potential. Considering the system as a mixture of identical components with a symmetric interaction we calculate numerically the temperature dependence of the leading-order corrections to the depletion of the Bose–Einstein condensate and to the isothermal compressibility.

The Ideal Bose Gas

Лев П. Питаевский, S. Stringari

Abstract This chapter describes the mechanism of Bose–Einstein condensation in the simplest ideal Bose gas case. An explicit expression for the critical temperature is derived in the analytically soluble case of a gas confined in a box. Various thermodynamic quantities are calculated above and below the critical temperature. Emphasis is given to the isothermal compressibility which diverges below the critical temperature. The behaviour of the off-diagonal one-body density matrix is discussed. Results for the fluctuations of the single-particle occupation numbers are derived in both the canonical and grand canonical ensembles.

Thermodynamics of dilute Bose gases: Beyond mean-field theory for binary mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates

Miki Ota, S. Giorgini

We study the thermodynamic properties of binary Bose mixtures by developing a beyond mean-field Popov theory which properly includes the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations in both the density and spin channels. Results for key thermodynamic quantities, such as the isothermal compressibility and the magnetic susceptibility, are derived from a perturbative calculation of the grand-canonical potential. We find that thermal fluctuations can play a crucial role on the miscibility condition of a binary mixture, favoring phase separation at finite temperature even if the mixture is soluble at zero temperature, as already anticipated in a previous work [M. Ota et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 075301 (2019)]. We further investigate the miscibility condition for binary mixtures in the presence of asymmetry in the intraspecies interactions, as well as in the masses of the two components. Furthermore, we discuss the superfluid behavior of the mixture and the temperature dependence of the Andreev-Bashkin effect.

1/ N -expansion for the critical temperature of the Bose gas

Orest Hryhorchak, V. Pastukhov

We revised the large- N expansion for a three-dimensional Bose system with short-range repulsion in normal phase. Particularly, for the model potential that is characterised only by the s -wave scattering length a the full numerical calculations of the critical temperature in the 1 / N -approximation as a function of the gas parameter a n 1 / 3 are performed. Additionally to the well-known result in the dilute limit we estimated analytically the leading-order strong-coupling behavior of the Bose-Einstein condensation transition temperature. It is shown that the critical temperature shift of the non-ideal Bose gas grows at small a n 1 / 3 , reaches some maximal value and then falls down becoming negative.

Large- N approximation for one- and two-component dilute Bose gases

Chih-Chun Chien, Fred Cooper, Eddy Timmermans

We discuss the mean-field theories obtained from the leading order in a large-$N$ approximation for one- and two-component dilute Bose gases. For a one-component Bose gas, this approximation has the following properties: the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) phase transition is second order but the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ is not shifted from the noninteracting gas value ${T}_{0}$. The spectrum of excitations in the BEC phase resembles the Bogoliubov dispersion with the usual coupling constant replaced by the running coupling constant which depends on both temperature and momentum. We then study two-component Bose gases with both inter- and intraspecies interactions and focus on the stability of the mixture state above ${T}_{c}$. Our mean-field approximation predicts an instability from the mixture state to a phase-separated state when the ratio of the interspecies interaction strength to the intraspecies interaction strength (assuming equal strength for both species) exceeds a critical value. At high temperature this is a structural transition and the global translational symmetry is broken. Our work complements previous studies on the instability of the mixture phase in the presence of BEC.

The non-interacting Bose gas

C. J. Pethick, H. Smith

The topic of Bose–Einstein condensation in a uniform, non-interacting gas of bosons is treated in most textbooks on statistical mechanics. In the present chapter we discuss the properties of a non-interacting Bose gas in a trap. We shall calculate equilibrium properties of systems in a semi-classical approximation, in which the energy spectrum is treated as a continuum. For this approach to be valid the temperature must be large compared with Δ∈/ k , where Δ∈ denotes the separation between neighbouring energy levels. As is well known, at temperatures below the Bose–Einstein condensation temperature, the lowest energy state is not properly accounted for if one simply replaces sums by integrals, and it must be included explicitly. The statistical distribution function is discussed in Sec. 2.1, as is the single-particle density of states, which is a key ingredient in the calculations of thermo dynamic properties. Calculations of the transition temperature and the fraction of particles in the condensate are described in Sec. 2.2. In Sec. 2.3 the semi-classical distribution function is introduced, and from this we determine the density profile and the velocity distribution of particles. Thermodynamic properties of Bose gases are calculated as functions of the temperature in Sec. 2.4. The final two sections are devoted to effects not captured by the simplest version of the semi-classical approximation: corrections to the transition temperature due to a finite particle number (Sec. 2.5), and thermodynamic properties of gases in lower dimensions (Sec. 2.6).

In the present chapter we discuss the properties of a non-interacting Bose gas in a trap. We shall calculate equilibrium properties of systems in a semi-classical approximation, in which the energy spectrum is treated as a continuum.

Thermodynamic properties of Bose gases are calculated as functions of the temperature in Sec. 2.4. Finally, Sec. 2.5 treats corrections to the transition temperature due to a finite particle number.
